I've tried to cook up a small howto: http://mschlander.wordpress.com/2009/01/30/howto-install-kde-42-on- opensuse
Just read over your howto guide. Will give it a try this weekend. What about the extra apps repo, should install first by your guide, then add it?
I deliberately excluded the "Extra-apps" and "Community" repos from the howto. On the bad side, they'd add a lot of complexity to the howto - and especially they would add complexity later when people have to switch repos to avoid 4.3 beta packages, while making sure all the repos are still of the same "flavour". On the plus side the "extra-apps" mostly brings svn-builds of unreleased applications (kaffeine, k3b, koffice etc.) which are likely to do more harm than good, in the hands of the casual users anyway. And the "Community" repo mostly has plasmoids and plasma-themes of questionable reliability too. So I think the "costs" greatly outweigh the benefits for most people. But if you want them you can add them whenever you please.. before, after the upgrade, doesn't matter. Before is probably the safest depending on what you have already installed. Just make sure you don't mix repositories of different "flavours" (STABLE/UNSTABLE/Factory), or you'll be in a world of hurt. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
